What is the currency in Bulgaria?

Bulgarian Lev.

Should I change money before I travel or in resort?

You will get the best exchange rate in resort, however be careful where you change your money. The best exchange rates can normally be found at the banks. Avoid the little forex stalls / kiosks, especially near the Gondola. Upon last check the best bank to change money was Alpha Bank but First Investment is also good.

Like anywhere it depends on where you go, but as a guide expect to pay between 2.5 and 3.5 lev for a large Bulgarian beer (£1.10 - £1.60). So much cheaper than the Alps!

How much does it cost to eat out?

A 3 course meal with drinks for 2 people in the Victoria Italian (opposite the Kempinski) costs around 50 lev ( £23). The locals rate it!

I've heard rumours that the lifts queues are bad in Bansko, is this true?

There is a single Gondola that gets you on to the mountain, during peak weeks (school holidays etc) it can be busy so try and avoid these times if you can. If you do go during these periods then either get to the Gondola early or have a leisurely morning and go later (11ish). Once you are on the mountain though the queues are minimal as Bansko has a very new and efficient lift system

What is the snow record like in Bansko?

Bansko has the best snow record and the longest ski season (15 Dec - 15 May) of all Bulgarian ski resorts.
